DARRIN: [Music] Really compact. Everything has got a certain spot that it goes. Like I said, a little bit slower filling up the car tires than I'd have liked. Other than that, yeah, it worked great. [Music ends]

BARNABY: Hey, what's up. Barnaby here, so you want to know more about the Porter Cable Inflater. Well I can tell you it works off of a dual chemistry, battery system. We're talking lithium ion but also nicad, and it's got a DC port right here for the power point in your car. It also can generate up to 150 PSI, so it's going to be a versatile, little unit. What we like to do is put it into the hands of somebody that can really field test it, and tell us from the ground up what you thought about the tool, specifically, performance, design, quality, and value. So first of all, tell me about yourself. What do you do?

BARNABY: Okay. Alright then. What about the quality of it? Because it's a machine that could be in a trunk waiting for that moment to shine, or it could be in the back of your golf cart banging around.

DARRIN: Yeah.

BARNABY: I'm just worried about, or wondering I should say, whether or not it will last.

DARRIN: I think it will last. It's not a tool you're going to have out every single day. You can find a good storage spot for it. It seems to pretty well built. I think it will last a long time.

BARNABY: Okay. Well once anybody is bitten by the flat tire bug, they always think I've got and get me an inflater. Now the question is, which kind? Would this be the one you'd recommend?

DARRIN: I think so. Like I said, all the features are really great on it, and it worked for everything we needed to do. I definitely recommend it.
